How to fish this area?

Featured Replies

Hey guys!

 

Here's a very short video showing one part of the creek I often fish. Any tips on what areas I should be focusing on. I mostly stand on the rock to the left at the very end of the video, and cast upstream a ways and let it come back to me with a fluke or sometimes bitsy minnow. I've only fished this a couple of times, and have mostly caught a few small LMB and rock bass. Just past this rock, there is a relatively shallow stretch of slow water.

It's rained a bit lately, so the water is quite a bit murkier than in this video.

Is there a pool behind the rock you stand on? Could be a good ambush point, maybe not if your standing on it.

I fish small rivers/creeks like that all summer and usually catch lots of fish.  Usually a buddy and I float a section in kayaks or paddle up and work back down.  I usually wet wade if the water is over 60*.  What I'm saying is get a kayak and expand your area.  BTW I almost always fish with a finesse worm and 6 lb line.

Light tackle fishing in small rivers is fun and a productive way to catch fish.
